Windows 10 Reviews

We primarily use the solution on all of the company desktops and laptops. We use it for running personal and business applications.

The solution is easy to use. 

The performance is decent. I don't see many incidents of it crashing. 

The installation is easy and the deployment is pretty quick.

I wouldn't describe the solution as scalable. 

Compared to Ubuntu or other products, I don't consider the operating system to be that great in terms of stability.

We've been using this solution for seven or eight years at this point. 

The stability of the product isn't as good as, for example, Ubuntu. That said, I rarely deal with it crashing. 

The solution does not really scale.

We have about 5,000 users that use this product in our organization. 

We have internal support which is good and we get it pretty fast when we need it. 

We have a combination of Microsoft Windows, Oracle Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We used to use Windows 7 and we've since updated everything to Windows 10.

The installation is straightforward and it only takes about 40 minutes to deploy. 

I can handle the implementation process myself. I do not need outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

You do have to pay in order to use the solution, however, it is a one-time fee. You do not have to worry about daily or monthly licensing costs. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this product to other users and companies.

I am using Windows 10 on my personal and work computers. Everything application that I use has to go through Windows 10. I could not do anything without it.

I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products.

I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion.

Overall, it was easier to reach different programs in the previous version.

In an upcoming release of Windows 10, I would like to see less. There are too many elements or settings. I prefer the operating system to be very minimal because it's only the base to access all the software. It doesn't need to be cumbersome, it should contain what we need and nothing more. For example, the weather, or similar features, only take up memory.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

I have found it is not scalable.

I have contacted Microsoft support but not for Windows 10. I have spoken to them about all the Office 365 products. They're very quick and I really appreciate them, it's very nice to work with the Microsoft technician. I'm not a Microsoft person, I don't work for Microsoft, but nevertheless, it's a very nice team.

The installation of Windows 10 is quite quick. Windows 10 is a large piece of software and needs time to get installed, but it's quite user-friendly. It takes time, it can't take five minutes to install an operating system, it's okay. It's user-friendly, the installation is quite easy, even for normal users. I'm an admin, but for normal users, I think it's easy as well.

I did the installation of my home computer and at work, I did it through an image, or through an SCCM, which other products are offered by Microsoft.

My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it.

A normal user I would advise them to follow the instruction when you install Windows 10 and use the search function because everything can be found in the search function. There's lots of information you can find in the browser, in a Google search. We talking about a very specific product. Windows 10 is an operating system, it's not real software, it's difficult to evaluate.

I rate Windows 10 seven out of ten.

We've been using Windows for a long time, and I think it's pretty easy to use.

They should have something like a dashboard where users can tune the performance. After using Windows 10 for a while, the operating system starts to slow down. It does not operate like it did when you first installed it. So, in the long run, I don't know what the cache is holding and how it's slowing down the operating system's performance. The same goes for the Microsoft Office applications. 

I've been using Windows 10 ever since it was first released. 

Windows 10 is stable.

I'm not sure about Windows' scalability because I don't specialize in this operating system. I deal with networks.

My colleagues are pleased with Microsoft's support. 

Installing Windows 10 is quite easy. You can get your system up and running in less than 30 minutes by yourself. We have three engineers responsible for maintaining our Windows systems.

I think for Windows 10, you only have to pay once.

I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10. I would recommend it. 

Some basic Office applications are based on Microsoft Office 365 nowadays. However, we use special tools like VMware Workstation to do things like play with some samples of visualizer and visualize versions of your products as simulators. With some tools, it's necessary to connect to our remote or local lab and make small presentations like a demo of our solutions for customers. I'm not a software developer, so I'm not experienced with stuff like that. I'm not also experienced with using any cloud services besides Office 365.

The user interface is somehow good for me because it's based on web design and all this user-friendly stuff. It allows for faster selection of applications and it streamlines research functions, like obtaining that information file or something like this. One useful feature of Windows 10 is its connectivity with mobile devices and ability to make cableless connections with external devices. Windows 10 has made some improvements in performance, so it's not consuming hardware resources like Windows 7. 

It's hard to define how Windows 10 could be improved. I've been using Windows for years, and every time I see progress, so I'm focused on the positive instead of the negative. But it's time-consuming to struggle with some issues. I don't think it's worth the time I have to spend fixing or finding something. 

In terms of ways to improve Windows 10, I would like more interface options for this desktop. Right now, it's like a web design network with all these icons from Microsoft. The work area is selected by news collected from the outside, with some application set but not the full scope of the application I've installed. So it would be nice to have the option to switch between this design and the previous one. Working with Windows 7, I preferred to use commands or applications like in the old version. So it would be nice to be able to change the look and feel of the design. 

And, of course, we are always talking about the security of private and professional data. So I hope for more protection against ransomware attacks. I expect that this will be included in a software update. Of course, I know that it could be covered by separate antivirus software, but I think that Microsoft has something like this included for home use, private use, and professional use. A company might accept the level of security offered by standard Microsoft software. It could be fine, but if not, there is always the option of buying something additional. Microsoft's security rules are a disadvantage, but then again, I can expect every company to use something like that.

I've been using Windows 10 for a year or more. We updated our internal setup from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It was a time-consuming process.

I have no complaints about Windows 10's stability and experience. Everything works perfectly and is acceptable at the level of observation. So I there haven't been too many problematic cases I would like to talk about. 

Our delivery and support team takes care of our customer's products sometimes. Based on our partnership with Microsoft, which is gold level, we have to contact the support team at Microsoft. But every issue coming from using Windows 10 and so on is always fixed by our internal IT service team. So we have no direct contact with Microsoft with any problems like that.

If you have a Plus Drive installed on your device, installing Windows 10 is pretty convenient. However, I don't have any experience with the setup because I'm using a standard corporate computer, which our internal IT staff prefers. So I am not involved in the process of installing Windows 10 from scratch. I get a ready-to-use laptop with some personalizations. I have to log in and use the correct password to make all corporate resources available on my device. However, in my personal life, I have seen progress with installation from version 7 to version 10. Maintenance on Windows 10 is done by a separate technical team that reacts to tickets and requests for support. They also make recommendations to fix something that is not working correctly. Sometimes they'll help when there are issues with corporate rules, like security, privileges, and accessing Active Directory. Also, when there was a migration happening in the background, like migration from Office 2016 to Office 365, there were some problems with migrating smoothly. We had to wait until our IT team fixed some features that were not accessible.

Microsoft's licensing strategy is constantly changing. In a few years, we might only be using cloud versions for the Microsoft operating system. That's my prediction. So I'm not expecting a general improvement on that. For example, I know the average price of a standard operating system for home use, but I see the enterprise version much more expensive than the version for home users. I'm usually buying products for private use based on my company's different price preferences. So I have no billing platform included in the device. I'm not buying hardware and software separately. I'm always buying this combined version that includes the hardware and software.

I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. Windows is dominating the market. But, of course, everyone knows about Microsoft operating systems. However, some people who have had a bad experience are switching to Linux versions or Macros systems. But I don't think it's necessary to recommend and promote software like that because Microsoft is one of many creating software for home use and professional use with end-user devices.

It is deployed on both cloud and on-prem.

I use a computing device, but it can be used for multiple functions and multiple aspects.

The two main features that I have found valuable are its ease of use and that we are used to using Windows.

In the next release, I would like improvement regarding stability plus performance.

I have been using Windows 10 for a couple of years.

Windows 10 is stable. Clearly there are multiple vulnerabilities, multiple issues that happen, but otherwise it works.

Windows 10 is scalable. We have around 3 to 4,000 people using it. And we have 20 - 25 admins or managers responsible for it.

The support is okay.

I previously tried Windows 7.

It was a straightforward installation. It took 15 - 20 minutes.

You can install it by yourself or with the help of the consultant\integrator.

It offers a yearly and a monthly subscription. Yearly is the one we are using.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Windows 10 an eight.

We primarily use Windows 10 for all of our technical work. 

The product has been very easy to use and is quite user-friendly.

We have found the solution to be very stable.

The level of scalability is quite good. 

The installation process is easy.

The solution is expensive. They should lower the price point. 

I've been using this particular solution for three or four years at this point. It's been a while now. 

The solution is quite stable and very reliable. I haven't dealt with bugs or glitches. It doesn't seem to crash or freeze. We find the performance to be good. 

The product has been very scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have about 2,000 workers on the solution currently.

We did not use a different solution before adopting Windows 10.

The installation is not overly complex or difficult. It's quite straightforward and very easy to deploy.

A company should not have any issues implementing the solution. 

Everything is handled by a central team in our organization.

The solution is a bit costly. We would prefer it if the price wasn't so high.

I use it myself, personally. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

Overall, we've been happy with this product.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I would happily recommend the product to other companies or users as I've had a good experience overall. 

We are using this operating system for all of the functionality on offer. We have different machines on which we are using Eggplant to perform the functional testing. All those machines are currently on Windows 10 only since users have been using Windows 10 already, and it's quite user-friendly. 

In all the cases where machines are present, we are performing the test over Windows 10 and using this Eggplant with all the different types of applications for the functionality users. Based on those tests, we are capturing data.

In the previous versions, you could get a copy of data or pirated data also, however, with Windows 10, as it is genuine software, it helped us a lot in avoiding this. It also has added security features and auto-updates. The upgrading of the software is very easy now.

The product is quite user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The GUI is quite impressive. We don't need to go into any command-line interface. Most of the things you can use with the click of a mouse. 

The initial setup is very easy.

Sometimes we getting slowness issues while performing some heavy operations. We aren't multitasking or anything, however, some heavy load is there. In those times, Windows 10 is not responding as we would like it to. They need to improve this.

As of now, I haven't seen many ain points per see. However, whether we're upgrading the software or clearing the cache, it would help us if the solution was more responsive.

The security could be improved. I have had colleagues who have gotten their files corrupted somehow.

I've been using the solution for maybe three or four years.

It's quite stable and is easy to work with as you don't need very special skills. 

As of now, I haven't had any downtime or any blockage due to the software or OS. Of course, the slowness issue sometimes stops us a lot. The upgrades can be frustrating as they sometimes start an update when we are working. If it's between the working times, it's not a problem.

It is quite easy to integrate add-on solutions and we've found that the scalability is fine in Windows 10. You don't have to do anything extra in that we can install easily, and we can use the software easily wherever it's required.

Within my team, my project, all of us are using Windows 10 since the project itself is dependent on Windows 10. We have around 10 people on our project. We are senior consultants, test engineers, test analysts, project managers, and test analysts.

We haven't reached out to technical support. Right now, things are running smoothly and therefore there's no reason to be in touch. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

Previously, we may have been using Windows 7. We haven't used a different operating system. It's always been Microsoft.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not a complex process at all.

We have an in-built, permanent license. I can't speak to how much it costs our company.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

I would recommend this solution. It's not ideal for very heavy projects, however, for moderate or medium-type of projects that do not have a very heavy load or too much multitasking, Windows 10 is excellent.

Windows 10 makes for pretty comfortable working. It doesn't need users to be experienced in anything. If you want to start a new thing with Windows 10 OS, you don't need to worry about that. You can get into it easily. You don't need to have knowledge of any specific things so that you can catch up with the solution and how to use it easily.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Windows 10 is useful for running personal applications.

Windows 10 provides good functionality and is easy to use.

The solution could improve by providing web applications and have Windows 10 on Azure as a virtual machine.

I have used Windows 10 for approximately three months.

The solution is stable.

Windows 10 is scalable.

We use Ubuntu, Red Hat, Windows Server, and Citrix OS.

There is a license required for this solution.

I would recommend it to others.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

As a Microsoft Tester, I like enabling the Microsoft Hyper-V and running the Virtual Machines for testing purposes.

I like Windows products.

Some time ago we had Windows Forms, but it did not perform well enough and Microsoft ended up terminating that area of the business.

I believe that it would be beneficial to introduce Windows Forms back into the solution to have a better experience transitioning from a desktop to a mobile version.

Currently, we are experiencing a lot of activities from hackers. People trying to break into the networks to access our data. This is an issue that is causing concern. I don't see a way of making it better or different. This became a large business for hackers. 

It would be great to have a more secure interface, especially in a business environment of critical content. For example, our company has a very high level of governance and security procedures.

There are many updates on a monthly basis. I understand that is how Microsoft helps their customers to manage and be secure with regard to Cyberattacks that we may experience. From a user's perspective, it's not a good experience. From an IT perspective, I know how important those things are.

It should be something that runs more in the background where it is not seen and has less of an impact than they usually have.

When we roll out any Microsoft patch across the Network which is done every Thursday, it had not seen a few computers having issues. That's bringing us X amount of work because we need to remediate the user's issue and all those things.

If Microsoft could find a way to better manage updates and patches, that could be more useful for end users, which would be good.

From an IT perspective, I would like something similar to Splunk where it has some type of visibility, or provide the user with power, or something that we could enable. For example, if we were attacked, we could enable something or download something as a part of the Microsoft portfolio to provide us with more visibility about the threat that is floating around.

I have been working with Windows 10 since it's been on the market.

My opinion is that Windows 10 is very stable.

I have not had many opportunities to contact technical support but have a few times.

My last contact with them was regarding server versions, which involved Exchange 2013, and few other things, and also about Windows 10 support.

My experience with enterprise support was good and we didn't have any issues, but specifically with Windows 10, it's wasn't a good experience.

Microsoft should have the same level of service. I was expecting more from Microsoft.

We are also working with all Microsoft operational systems, from Windows 10 to Windows Servers, Active Directory, and Office 365.

I have worked with Windows since Windows 95 and it has changed a lot. It is very quick to deploy.

It is different when you analyze things and think in a more technical way, but even a non-technical person could install Windows from scratch with no issues.

I am currently studying for Microsoft Administrator, but I don't have hands-on experience with Key Vault.

I would recommend Windows 10 to others who are interested in using it.

The Microsoft portfolio is quite large. It is difficult to think of what Microsoft hasn't already developed so far.

I would rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

We use the solution solely on desktops, for running personal applications.

I do not use the solution out of any particular preference. It is simply that my company utilizes it and I must follow suit. 

Certain aspects of the solution are really complicated and should be simplified. I am referring to features we utilize daily, such as those used for finding things and Internet Explorer. 

MS Office or Internet Explorer has a big ribbon on top. While it may be useful, it occupies a lot of screen space. My laptop contains a very small screen of just 13 inches, which is full HD, meaning that the forms already appear very small. As the ribbon occupies some of this needed space, reducing it would free up that which is on the screen. 

We have been using Windows 10 for the last three years.

When it comes to technical support, I generally have to reach out to my local IT guys.

Before using the solution, we made use of Windows 7.

There was no installation necessary. 

We don't spend anything for the license. I prefer the full license, not the one for cloud. 

The solution is used on my personal laptop. I use Windows 10. I don't run tests on my own. I do everything on my office infrastructure. For the data and middleware I get support in my office. 

The solution is easy to use.  

Everyone in my organization uses Windows 10, although I cannot disclose the exact number of users.

I feel compelled to recommend the solution to others, as there are no available alternatives when it comes to desktops.

For desktop usage, I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten.
